What a wonderful feeling to wake up knowing that 2,000 families and 8,000 children are experiencing a brighter Christmas because a community came together to give back. We are truly a program for the community, by the community.

From all of us at Brown Santa, we wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas! 🎅🏾🎄🎁🧸

We were able to partner with Texas Commission on Law Enforcement yesterday as they sponsored a family. The family came into our warehouse and met with the TCOLE Staff. The reactions of the family were priceless! This is another family who truly needed this assistance. There were tears of joy from the family, TCOLE and Brown Santa staff! 💙🎅🏾🎁🧸❤️

Our last delivery of our season! We partnered with Northwest Elementary in the North Central area of Travis County to bring their kids activity books, colors, school supplies, clothing and food!! The season is officially over for our program this year! We served over 2600 families which included 300 displaced families. We also had 4900 volunteers come into our warehouse to help put it all together. Truly an amazing experience to see from start to finish. This season was an absolute success on many levels!!
